Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile communication control method, and more particularly to a call signal automatic transmission stop control method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, even if a line is set up by transmitting a call signal (call dial signal), the line is disconnected and redialing is automatically performed again when the transmission of facsimile data is not started due to the circumstances of the receiving terminal. , The number of times of calls set by the automatic transmission process was performed.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional facsimile communication, even if the telephone terminal is erroneously received and the facsimile cannot be received, it is automatically redialed and stopped from the receiving side terminal. I couldn't do it either.

An object of the present invention is to automatically call a call signal of a facsimile communication which can stop the automatic transmission processing of the call signal of the calling facsimile terminal from the called terminal side by a simple operation of a telephone in a telephone terminal or a facsimile terminal. A transmission stop control method and a control system are provided.

[0005]

According to the automatic call signal transmission stop control method in facsimile communication of the present invention, when a line is set by automatic transmission of a call signal, there is a problem in receiving a facsimile on the receiving terminal side. Then, a voice message instructing an action to be taken by the receiving terminal is transmitted from the calling terminal to the receiving terminal, and the receiving terminal performs the action, for example, a certain operation of the telephone receiving the voice message. A certain signal is transmitted from the receiving terminal to the transmitting terminal, the transmitting terminal monitors the reception of the signal for a certain period of time, and the transmitting terminal receives the signal and stops the automatic transmission of the calling signal when confirmed. To do.

Further, the automatic call signal transmission stop control system in the facsimile communication according to the present invention is a voice for instructing the facsimile terminal to take action to be taken by the receiving terminal when the receiving terminal of the other party has a trouble in receiving the facsimile. A storage unit that stores a message in advance, a transmission unit that transmits the message, a reception unit that receives a certain signal transmitted with the treatment of the receiving terminal, and an analysis unit that analyzes the signal, When the calling facsimile terminal starts the automatic transmission of the calling signal and the line is set, the facsimile terminal sends the message to the receiving terminal, and the receiving terminal receives the action, for example, a fixed number of telephones that have received the voice message. And the reception of a certain signal transmitted to the transmission side terminal, the transmission side terminal monitors for a certain period of time. And the originating terminal to stop the automatic transmission of the call signal to confirm receipt of the signal.

[0007]

[Function] A signal sent from the receiving terminal by notifying the receiving terminal by voice message of the action to be taken by the receiving terminal when the reception of the facsimile is hindered due to the circumstances of the receiving terminal and the receiving terminal taking the above action. When the calling terminal confirms, the transmission of the calling signal is stopped.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a facsimile communication line according to the automatic transmission stop control system for a calling signal according to the present invention. The facsimile terminal 1 to which various functions characterizing the present invention are added is a switch 7. The figure shows a case where a call is made via the terminal and the number is erroneously received by the telephone terminal 8. The facsimile terminal 1 includes a message storage unit 3 that stores a voice message in advance, a transmission unit 4 that sends out the message, and a facsimile terminal side in response to an operation (for example, pressing # 99 with a touch-tone telephone) of the partner telephone that receives the message. An operation signal receiving unit 6 for receiving a signal sent to the device and an operation signal analyzing unit 5 for analyzing and controlling the received signal are added, and the control unit 2 has a function for controlling the operation of each of these units. .

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the operation of the automatic transmission stop control system of the call signal which operates between the facsimile terminal 1 and the telephone terminal 8 in the facsimile communication line of FIG.
S represents a step.

When automatic transmission is set in the originating facsimile terminal 1 (S1), the facsimile terminal 1 calls the called terminal end (telephone terminal) 8 and a call signal is transmitted (S2), and the called terminal 8 is called. (S3). The called terminal responds (S4, S5), and a communication line is set up between the calling and called terminals. Calling terminal 1 at this time
First, a voice message stored in advance is transmitted from the message transmitting unit 4 to the receiving terminal 8 before transmitting an inquiry sound as to whether or not facsimile data may be transmitted as a normal facsimile communication procedure. (S6). This message is an instruction for an automatic transmission stop operation that should be taken by the receiving terminal when it is desired to stop the automatic transmission of the calling signal by the transmitting terminal because reception of facsimile data is hindered due to circumstances on the receiving terminal side. I will send a fax from now on, but if there is a problem, please push down # 99 with a touch-tone phone. "... etc. Now, the receiving terminal is the telephone terminal 10, and when the above message is received (S7), the corresponding operation signal is transmitted to the transmitting terminal 1 by pressing # 99 with the touch-tone and performing an automatic transmission stop operation. (S8). The originating facsimile terminal 1 waits for an operation signal from the receiving terminal 8 for a fixed time (S9), and if received within that time, analyzes it in the operation signal analysis unit 5 (S10) and confirms that it is an automatic transmission stop operation signal. If this is done (S11), the line is disconnected (S1
2) The automatic transmission of the calling signal is stopped (S13).
If the reception signal is not received during the standby time or if the reception signal cannot be confirmed as the automatic transmission stop operation signal, the normal facsimile communication operation is started (S9, S11, S).
15). When the automatic transmission is stopped in response to the automatic transmission stop operation signal from the receiving terminal, an automatic transmission error message indicating that fact is output to the person who has set the automatic transmission (S14).

In the above, the receiving terminal is the telephone terminal,
Even if the call arrives at the facsimile terminal, the same process can be performed when the caller terminal is handled by the attached telephone.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, when a facsimile cannot be received due to a situation on the receiving terminal side such as when the telephone terminal is erroneously received, the calling terminal can be operated by a simple operation of the receiving terminal side telephone. Since it is possible to request to stop the automatic transmission of the calling signal to the calling side, it is possible to stop the unnecessary transmission of the calling signal by the calling side facsimile terminal and avoid unnecessary occupation of the line.
